What skills and experience we're looking for

Acland Burghley School is seeking to appoint an exceptional Teaching & Learning Assistant to join the team. Successful applicants will have a passionate commitment to ensuring that every child makes outstanding academic progress. They will understand the role that adults within the classroom can play in supporting young people with additional educational needs to develop independence and to overcome barriers to learning.

The post holders will be members of the Additional Educational Needs Faculty, which supports learning across the school as well as in the specialist Autism Resource Base. Their work will be supporting faculty teams to deliver an outstanding quality of provision for all students.

Successful candidates will be highly effective, flexible, positive and reliable team players, with the ability to make impact and raise standards for young people with a range of special needs. They will work with the rest of the AEN Team in securing provision for students with additional needs. They will have specific oversight of a number of students with special needs across the school, frequently liaising with parents/carers. They will have a desire to progress professionally and personally within the role.

Applicants should demonstrate the ability to take direction within a complex team, and also to self-direct and make decisions to ensure maximum impact on student progress. They will have a keen awareness of how effective personalisation helps children to learn. They will place great emphasis on developing partnerships between the school and families. Above all, they will show an uncompromising belief in the potential of every student, and the skills to personalise their approach so that every child succeeds.

What the school offers its staff

At Acland Burghley we have a two-tier Teaching & Learning Assistant structure. Alongside Teaching & Learning Assistants, we also have Senior Teaching & Learning Assistants who have additional responsibilities in the school.

If you would like to play your part in securing outstanding provision for our students, we would very much like to hear from you.

Acland Burghley School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.
